Case 06 is for the rebels who don’t trust the rebellion yet.
The ones still lurking on the edge of the work.
Too curious to look away.
Too jaded to lean in.
Read it anyway.
You might recognize yourself.

Some mornings I meditate.
Others I journal, stretch, or just breathe.
After a few weeks of travel, I’m finding my way back -
not with discipline, but with choice.
New dispatch on building a routine that works for you:
flexible, human, and real.

The cost of living is a quiet kind of cruelty.
I’ve lived out of my car.
I’ve made a quarter million in tech.
I’ve watched $70K vanish overnight.
This isn’t a sob story.
It’s a mirror.
If you’ve ever traded soul for survival…
This one's for you.

It's pretty cool to have two books you published sitting on your bookshelf. I'm excited to start sending some signed copies out to clients, family and friends 😄

I’m lying on a bathroom floor 7,500 miles and three flights away from home, in a foreign country where I do not speak the language, and I’m convinced that I’m having a heart attack....

It's been 20 years since I shot film, and they don't seem to have the Fujifilm I used to use.

Your phone isn’t just a tool, it’s a trap.
Big Tech spent trillions designing it that way.
We call it convenience.
What we’ve really given up is our attention, autonomy, and ability to be present.
